New players ? Building an Empires

It is quite easy for new players to build themselves a small empire. New players start with an offensive army and they can easily extend this army if they so wish. When a new member attacks a "Computer Controlled Country" (C3 country), war starts immediately, it is relatively easy and can be won quickly.

This is true for the first war only and limited to new members in the first 6 weeks they are playing. Purchasing a country is also an option. You can have a small empire without engaging in war.

Attacking a C3 country for all other players and new players who already were involved in such a war, is more difficult but war against C3 countries is always easier than a war against an active player.

New players are unable to attack any country with a president for a period of 6 weeks after they join the game.
